As soon as that spineless fuck Tom Wheeler stops threatening to knock them all down to Title II and actually does it, we can only expect this to escalate.
That's why they stated...all the cars worth driving... which is so very true. They have probably been around for a while and once reached middle aged, bought a nice ass car.
Spacetime is expanding at a very high rate. In that expansion the light emitted had a larger space to cross in order to get here. Therefor it would take longer for it get here than just the 5bn yrs. I been reading your comments and some of the folks here have been giving you great examples and explaining things perfectly. It is hard to grasp some of this if you are not a Physics/science major. Take a few entry level Physics classes, shit watch the new Cosmos show(or How the Universe Works is a great one) and it'll even put things in more basic terms to understand this. I am not being a dick by saying this. I said the same thing to my mother about 15yrs ago on taking a Computers 101 class so she could get the basic usage of a computer down and it worked wonders for her. This may very well help you understand this wonderful universe we live in.:)
OH OH, there is also a lecture on YouTube, by Neil deGrasse Tyson, search for "My Favorite Universe" in youtube and it should bring it up. It's a 12 part series. He also has a more current one on Netflix. I can't remember the name at the moment, but it is 6 parts.
I think if a civilization had the technology to spread across a galaxy there would be better means of travel.
Think about it. Our galaxy is relatively small in it is 100,000 ly in width and 20,000 ly in height. Right now we can't even get to our nearest neighbor(Alpha Centauri) in a lifetime. If we could spread across a galaxy, there would be some other amazing form of travel that would make sling-shotting around a black hole look like taking coach.
You can't order the Throwback version? That is made with the real sugar. In fact when i drink soda now I only drink the stuff with real sugar. I can taste the nastiness of the FRUCtose in everything else. Jarritos is a good brand from Mexico that uses real sugar and natural flavors.
Same here, I had a recall for my 2002 Ford Ranger a few years ago. I haven't owned that truck since 2007.
The recall had something to do with an ignition switch catching fire...even when the vehicle was not in use. Last I checked I don't think anyone's comp was at risk of bursting into flames due to a security patch not being installed.
Car comparisons won't work on this because if cars aren't recalled for dangerous flaws, owners and other people are in danger of injury or death. The only way my computer is going to kill someone is if i use it to beat them to death with it

And there are a shit ton more articles on that topic...
I'm 34. My mother doesn't give a shit what the fuck I say on the phone. She knows I am an adult and have to vent frustrations at times that she is ok if I rattle of 'fuck' a few times.
More like 2009.
I stopped in 2010 due to excessive power use. I used so much power that I wasn't even breaking even with the bill. Then the final decision was made to stop when cops showed up to my house expecting to find me growing pot. I showed them my setup and explained what I was really doing.
I only see it viable if multiple people doing it at different locations and then pooling it. Later they'll kill each other until the last one gets all the gold.
But a large part of your poor NETFLIX performance was intently "allowed to happen" by Verizon in the first place, even though you were paying them for quality service.
That's the part that pisses me off about this entire situation - I, the customer, am paying X amount of dollars for Y amount of bandwidth; I am not paying them to spy on me, or throttle my connection, or limit what parts of the internet I can reasonably access, nor did I ever ask for or authorize such activity. Classic bait-and-switch, except nobody gets their ass handed to them for it.
HAHAHA...really? time to read the ToS. That phrase(not verbatim but states something like) 'monitoring their network...for suspicious activity' etc. Is just a buzz phrase for 'we can watch what you do on our network'
I don't understand why people are paying shit prices and getting slow speeds.
I have FiOS and I pay 80$/mo for 50/25 that usually runs at 64/34. I think that's fairly reasonable. I could upgrade to 150/50 for something like 130$/mo, but I don't need those obnoxiously high speeds when I can D/L a full 1.2GB movie in 3min on my current connection. Oh and I live just outside Dallas, TX if geographical location is going to be brought into it.
Glad there is someone else out there that(including AC) that realizes both parties are utter horse shat! Criminals and liars the lot of them. There are a few gems here and there, but they're few and far between.
This is the reason I don't vote. You don't know who is going to do good or bad until it's too late. Mostly they do bad and I'd rather not be a part of it.
I also wouldn't be surprised if any wound up in Chinese, Russian or Indian arms as well.
I am pretty sure some was sold to Iraq. Hell, we sold them planes, tanks and other shit back in the 80s, why not Uranium?! I bet that is how we 'knew' they had WMDs. We just looked at their receipt.

It CAN drive itself while you text. It can also stop too...once you hit something hard.
Many people have already figured that one out and have the gravestone or wheelchair to prove it.

This is /. most probably didn't read it before they came here to rant and rave in their comment
I have to agree with you..
Good thing most of the crowd comes here after only reading the summary and may heed your warning
I have over 200 I can loan for the moment...after that my Bearded Dragon and Chameleons will have a massive feast.

no, I won't. It's the same reason I don't vote.

One would think if they know how to reinstall their network drivers they'd be just fine in keeping their system secure enough.
Even though I've never used it...
Or simply practice restraint/self control.
You're right. Give the NSA a call. I am sure they have the ability to do this since they have all of us in their database.
I'm 34. My mother doesn't give a shit what the fuck I say on the phone. She knows I am an adult and have to vent frustrations at times that she is ok if I rattle of 'fuck' a few times.
If you cant just not use the phone while driving w/o an app enforcing it, you have bigger problems than just driving while distracted.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I don't know what is so important what someone said you are willing to get seriously injured or die for.

oooo good idea! I think I'll be picking up an 11oz Sirloin since I have to go to the store and fill my 5gal water jug anyway.
